No Player Controls

Hi guys
I'm using Captivate 3 and when I publish, there are no player
control bar. its works fine in the preview.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham
Are you publishing in .EXE format? If so, I've seen it where
you record something full screen and the .EXE doesn't show the
playback controls. If this is what is happening, it's likely
because the controls are out of the viewable screen area. One way
to confirm this is to click File > Save As... to produce a new
copy of your project, then click Project > Resize Project... and
shrink the copy by perhaps 40% (60% of original size) then publish
that and I'm guessing the controls are there.
I think you will find the bottom line answer here is that
your movie size needs to be smaller. Either that, or you need to
click Project > Skin... > Borders tab and DE-select the "Show
Borders" check box so as to push the playback controls up and
partially cover part of your movie.
Cheers... Rick

How to disable player controls when embedding mp4 video?

I am trying to embed a mp4 video in a web page. Is there a tag for hiding the player's controls? I want my video to loop without any display of the player controls. Also, if anyone knows of some sample code for embedding .mp4 with all available tags I would sure like to see it.
Thanks,
Jerry

Clip notes - no player controls

I am trying to use clip notes - only problem is that everything is fine except the player controls don't show up below the clip. The controls are there if you click on the area, but you just can't see them (Just a black bar)
I'm using Reader 9

Let me guess:
You chose Quicktime for the video format, and you are using Vista 64.
Correct?
If so, then you are probably still OK. Apple doesn't support Quicktime
player on 64-bit Windows, and a symptom is the lack of visible
controls. But the file will play back just fine on 32-bit Windows, and,
I assume, on a Mac.

Autohide Flash Player Controls

I've imported a Video file into Flash and added Player
Controls.
I've set the Autohide option to TRUE... so when the player
loads you can't see the Player Controls until Mouse Over.
This is all good... but they stay there and I don't want
that. I'd like for them to disappear again.
How do I set it so the Player Controls disappear
again?

Yeah I started to wonder if I could add a 2 px thick transparent "frame" around outside edge of the movie that - when moused over - would trigger the autohide. but I am not enough of a Flash/AS person to know how to do that.
Thanks for your help. I am hoping we can figure this out.

Divx web player won't show me any player controls.

I recently reinstalled divx on my macbook and now for some reason when i am streaming a divx video in safari there are no player controls. The video plays fine and when i double click, it was go to fullscreen. But it doesnt pause even when i push space bar. Any suggestions?

Having the same problem with some but not all of my 15" and 17" core I5 and I7 macbook pros. All are based on the same image. The afflicted ones can run DVD Player with the 32bit kernel but not with the 64bit kernel. applejack seemed to fix two out of three of them, but on at least one of those the problem returned. When it doesn't work, the DVD Player is running and I can hear the audio, but the video is black.

No Quicktime player controls in web browser plugins

When using the Quicktime plugin under Firefox or Internet Explorer I do not get any player controls (play/pause, progress, volume etc). All that displays is a black bar where the control bar should be.
I am running the latest version of Quicktime player (downloaded it yesterday). I am using Firefox 3 RC2 and Internet Explorer 7.
Please advise how I can get the player controls to work, because as you can imagine, its pretty hard to play videos/sounds without them.

I have seen similar problems on latest QuickTime v7.5.5 on Vista SP1 64bit platform... when viewing Lynda.com training videos under IE v7 and Firefox v3.02/v3.03. Specifically, the controls are not visible and/or do not work properly (eg reset to start when click on mid-point of timeline) and other times the video blanks out in windowed of full-screen mode with no suspend or power issues... and I am forced to restart QuickTime for video to re-display. The video controls in windowed mode also sometimes do not work.
I found the solution was to change the ADVANCED settings of the QUICKTIME player...
Open Quicktime 7 player... but do not open any content.
Click on Edit tab and go to Preferences, then click on Quicktime Preference.
On window that opens, click on the Advanced tab
You will see a selection under VIDEO heading for Safe Mode (GDI only) or Direct X.... click on Safe mode (GDI only)
Then click on Apply, then OK.
Restart Quicktime and play a movie to test it.
For me, this resolved all my problems... even though had latest DirectX installed. I hope this helps in your case!

How to publish a Captivate piece to Import as Animation with Media Player Controls

I want to record a demonstration of an application using
Captivate 3. Then, I want to publish this as a flash piece. (swf).
Then, I want to "import as animation" into a WBT template using
Captivate. The issue I am having is importing the flash piece to
include the media player controls so the user has control of only
that flash piece. Usually, we get two swf files one of the main
recording and another of the skin (media player). I know I am
missing something either in my publishing options or somewhere
else.
Can anyone help?

Welcome to our community, juando_m
You might try this. In the first project, click Project >
Skin... > Borders tab and DE-select the "Show Borders" check
box. This should coax the playback controls into the main part of
the movie so there is a single .SWF. You could then have the
playback controls present in the .SWF you insert into the second
Captivate.
Note that doing this will also cause the playback controls to
cover part of the movie.
I'm not sure how well the playback controls will work once
the project gets inside the second. So I wouldn't be too surprised
if they failed to work. But they might. So it's definitely worth
trying to see.

On certain web sites(with java applets embedded or rich content),sometimes browser hotkeys are beeing used with other functionality (eg.: youtube uses ctrl + tab for sliding between player controls).How can I prevent this?

Thanks for posting this!
I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

ChromeApplication player controls not displaying.

Okay – I think I'm making progress :-)
In my FLA file, I have a FLVPlayback component in my library.
When I export the video to an SWF it provides me with 2 SWF files:
the flash movie and the skin. With those 2 files, I also upload my
FLV file to my server.
On my media server, the video displays correctly (here's the
link to it:
http://jonah.eastern.edu/ben/ben_jump.html)
However, when I try embedding the video onto a different
sight and server, just the video displays. I completely understand
that there's 2 different SWF's, but how do I import the video
correctly, so the video playback is displaying correctly when
embedded on other/external sites.
Is there a way to attach/import the SWF for the skin? I'm
just trying to embed video's like YouTube and I'm failing horribly!
Thank you so much!

QuickTime 10 player controls annoying, can they be changed?

Hi,
The new player for QT10 has the player controls sitting on top of the actual video window, they do fade away and disappear once you hit play and move the mouse off the player, however, when the mouse is over the video window or the video is paused, the player control box sits permanently on the video. I can drag the player control box anywhere within the video box, but I can't get it out of the player. I would like it to live under the video image, below the player window. I can't find any options for changing this. This really is a HUGE annoyance for me. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

I use QT 7.6.3 Pro as the main Player/Editor and, after a bit of playing around, now have it set as the "default" non-iTunes movie file application under Snow Leopard.

Show quicktime player controls in Keynote for iOS?

I am trying to build an interactive iPad presentation in Keynote, which is essentially a wrapper for hundreds of training videos. On the mac, you can pause and scrub through a video housed within a Keynote presentation but I do not see that option on iOS. Can anybody confirm this, or does somebody know a way to enable quicktime player controls on a video playing in Keynote?
Thanks!
Brian

FOUND THE SOLUTION:
I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

Imbedded SWF does not have Player Controls?

Hello,
I am using Go Live CS2 and have a Flash video to put on a page.
I have Flash CS4 so I made an SWF and put on the Go Live page.
When I preview in a browser, the video plays but the player controls are not there.
When I preview in Flash (html preview) the controls are there.
Also, the video is auto-playing even after I unchecked auto play in Go Live.
Do I need to install some sort of Flash player code for Go Live?
Thanks for your help!

Captivate 2 - Embedding Player Controls

Hi Everyone,
In Captivate 1 I could embed the player controls into the SWF
file. Now it appears that the controls are output to a seperate
skins.swf file. I need my video and controls embedded into a single
SWF file because my LMS system can only accept a single file. Can
anyone tell me how to embed the player controls in Captivate 2?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve
I believe you would do this as follows.
1. Click Project > Skin...
2. In the Skin: drop down, scroll to the bottom of the list
and choose "BMP Playbars".
This should result in a single file that contains the former
version of controls. However, you will also find that Captivate 2
will still output two .SWF files along with the HTML file. If you
upload both the HTML file and the .SWF file to your LMS, you will
need to amend the HTML file so it correctly references only the
base .SWF file. It seems that Captivate 2 will seemingly always
point at the playback control file in the HTML file. The playback
control file then loads up the main .SWF file. Also note that the
HTML file will also contain a differing height statement for the
movie. Presumably this is to account for the added playback
control.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Video Furnace: Failed while creating player controls...

I need some help figuring out how to get Video Furnace to work on my computer. It had run very easily before; I was on campus, and I clicked on the icon, it came up, and played smoothly, but I can't get it to work any longer. It keeps saying: The Audio device is unavailable or busy. Playback will continue without audio. After that message, Another error message pops up saying: Error, Failed while creating player controls. Then the Instream quits.
I used my roommate's computer to access the video I was supposed to watch and ir worked fine on hers; she has the same exact computer as me, and I was in the same room, only a couple of feet away. I was thinking maybe I messed up my audio settings or soemthing? I don't know what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Instead of creating a player and a processor from one datasource you can use javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl to grab frames from the video stream. To do this you need the following code
* grabs a frame's buffer from the web cam / device
* @returns A frames buffer
public Buffer grabFrameBuffer ( )
if ( player != null )
FrameGrabbingControl fgc = (FrameGrabbingControl)player.getControl ( "javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl" );
if ( fgc != null )
return ( fgc.grabFrame() );
else
System.err.println ("Error : FrameGrabbingControl is null");
return ( null );
else
System.err.println ("Error : Player is null");
return ( null );
* grabs a frame's buffer, as an image, from the web cam / device
* @returns A frames buffer as an image
public Image grabFrameImage ( )
Buffer buffer = grabFrameBuffer();
if ( buffer != null )
// Convert it to an image
BufferToImage btoi = new BufferToImage ( (VideoFormat)buffer.getFormat() );
if ( btoi != null )
Image image = btoi.createImage ( buffer );
if ( image != null )
return ( image );
else
System.err.println ("Error : BufferToImage cannot convert buffer");
return ( null );
else
System.err.println ("Error : cannot create BufferToImage instance");
return ( null );
else
System.out.println ("Error : Buffer grabbed is null");
return ( null );
The first method takes frame grabbing control of your player which you have already created from the datasource of the camera and it grabs a frame, returns it as a buffer, then calls the second methos which converts the buffer to an image.
It is very straight forward and I was kicking myself when I figured you could do it this way - I had been weeks playing around with the player and processor from one datasource.
hope this helps!

Quick music player controls

How do I access the music player controls from the lock screen? I've done it on accident a few times, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hey. Just got a solution that worked for me.
Try watch a random video then press back. The Music Controls is not there anymore until you open a song.
Hope it helps you.
If I have helped you in any way, give me a kudos!
